The Event

For Expo 2020 Dubai, AIM delivered a momentous program of 360-degree projections and live productions that amazed audiences and transformed Al Wasl Dome into an iconic entertainment destination.

AIM’s entertainment was orchestrated around Expo’s vision ‘Connecting Minds and Creating the Future’. From concept to completion, each show achieved creative excellence and took visitors on an inspiring, emotive journey.

• By day, contemplative soundscapes utilising the 27:1 surround sound system
• After sunset,
